Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 56963

Received: 09/12/2021

Respondent: Trumpington Residents Association

Representation Summary:

The Trumpington Residents' Association supports the general principles. We note that larger scale developments are being focused on the edge of Cambridge to the north west, north and north east of the city centre and new settlements such as Cambourne, Northstowe and Waterbeach (Figure 4), with limited additional housing in the immediate area of Trumpington.

With respect to Fig. 4, we are critical of the omission of the housing which is proposed as part of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus development: it is very misleading to omit this (c. 5000 homes, Site 056).
